It’s been just over a week since I returned home from Europe. After I left Madrid, I spent a lovely three days with my friend and her family at their home in Naples, which included a day trip to Rome. Since then, I’ve been back in my childhood home in Clarksburg, Maryland, where I’ve spent…

Hierarchy and Leadership in Paris Labs
Whenever I speak of Paris, people always assume I am on vacation mode. “Wow, Paris! Enjoy your holiday.” Every time someone says something along those lines, I can already tell they are imagining me posing in front of the Eiffel Tower with a giant croissant in my hand, or painting in front of the Seine…
The Korean Workplace Through My Eyes
It’s hard to believe I’m writing this from home because it feels like just yesterday I was walking through the streets of Seoul. My last week in Korea was filled with so many moments that perfectly wrapped up my experience. One of my favorite memories was getting a facial during my lunch break with my…
The Last Goodbye
It’s crazy to think that 2 weeks have already passed since I said my final goodbyes to all my friends in Ireland, and yet it has been. Time always seems to fly when you look back on the short term, but it just goes to show how important it is to take hold of the…

7 Weeks Down: Archipelago Views, Happy Cows, and Workplace Wins
I’d like to start this post by agreeing that I can’t believe 7 weeks passed so quickly. At the same time, getting off of the plane at Arlanda Airport seems like ages ago, and somehow my first day even longer. With one week left, I like to think that I made the best of my…
Home at last!
The final week of my study abroad has came and went, and what a ride it was! The last couple of days were filled with finishing touches on my work, farewells, and a couple of final excursions. Me and my roommate went to the National Museum to look at some Swedish art, and also watched…
Post-Trip Conclusion
When I first arrived in Berlin, I expected this experience to be primarily about gaining technical skills and adding professional experience to my résumé. While I certainly accomplished those goals through my internship at w3.hub, I am leaving with something much more valuable: a new perspective on myself, my future, and what it means to…
